21.01.2022 A massive shout out to the team from NSW SES Wauchope Unit - They did a great job coordinating the resources to all the jobs which came in. It was our pleasure to assist them. In these times we all band together and work jointly between Emergency Services to assist our community. Thank you to Domino's Pizza Wauchope for supplying a large range of delicious pizza's to the crew's from Fire + Rescue Wauchope - The crew enjoyed these after a long evening assisting with Storm & Tempest taskings.

20.01.2022 Wauchope Fire and Rescue NSW are seeking fit and healthy women and men in our community to apply to be Retained (on-call) Firefighters. Successful applicants need to live close to the Fire Station and have good daytime availability.

19.01.2022 Some of the great work the NSW SES Wauchope Unit completed over the past few days. Glad we could lend a hand to lighten the load.

18.01.2022 Please get in contact with your local station for an Static Water Supply (SWS) sticker or plate so we know where water is should we need it

11.01.2022 Some good information from our friends at NSW RFS - Wauchope Brigade Remember, if you see an unattended fire to call 000 without delay. Stay cool everyone!

07.01.2022 For this week’s #FlashbackFriday we will be sharing the story of former retained firefighter, Adriana Mugica. In 1993, Adriana joined Wauchope Brigade as the un...it’s first female firefighter. It is important to note that women were only admitted into the NSW Fire Brigade from 1985. Interestingly, Wauchope was the first unit in the North 5 Zone to become rescue accredited, paving the way for Adriana’s next ‘first’. Just two years after joining Wauchope Brigade, she successfully undertook the State Rescue Board’s Rescue Operator Assessment, becoming the first female to be accredited in primary rescue operations. At the time, assessment subjects included hydraulics, rescue scene assessment, winches/chain pull set, cutting equipment, theory examination, patient packaging, air equipment, generators, and cordage. In a personal letter to Adriana, former Commissioner Ian MacDougall congratulated her on this accomplishment, noting you now have an enduring place in our history. Although rescue has been at the core of FRNSW efforts for the past century, it has evolved over the years with an increased focus on accreditation. Currently, the service has 182 accredited rescue units (and 1,853 specialised rescue operators) that assist with incidents such as motor vehicle accident rescue, animal rescue, and fire rescue. This number continues to grow. [: Adriana Mugica, 1995] #FlashbackFriday #History #FRNSW #Museum #Penrith #VisitPenrith #Wauchope Fire and Rescue NSW
